A Celebration of Life will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Friday, November 1, 2024, at the Eagles Club in Cedar Rapids. Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Cedar Rapids, is assisting the family. Steven, a lifelong Iowa resident was born on October 5, 1955, in Dubuque, Iowa, the son of Joe and Sandra (Shireman) Cleveland. Steven was the oldest sibling and was a beloved son, brother, loving father, grandfather, and a wonderful friend to all who knew him. He was a graduate of Prairie and Kirkwood College, worked a number of years with Zinzer, for Universal Engineering, was skilled as a welder, and worked as a union laborer. Steven enjoyed listening to live music, going to car shows, riding motorcycles, bicycling, gardening, building or fixing things, thrift shopping and helping loved ones and neighbors. He loved traveling to Utah to visit his daughter and grandchildren who were his pride and joy and they enjoyed many adventures together. He enjoyed doing home renovations- building fences, a shed and even a garage. He was known to do everything with pride and perfection and led by example teaching others his skills and knowledge. He'd set his mind to something and saw it through without cutting corners. Steven is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Preston; grandchildren, Aspen Jade Preston and Olivia Rose Cleveland; and siblings, Gregory Cleveland, Curtis Cleveland, Dana Cleveland, Carrie Weir, Renee McCrary, and Heater Yates. Steven was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Dean and Joe Cleveland Jr. Steven fought a valiant battle in the end and remained positive to his last breath. He will be missed dearly. Forever remembered by all whose hearts he touched.
